Also, "I saw this film" sounds like Soviet English.

Uly, I'm sorry to come up again with the "film", but I as I can see "I saw this film" is very often used, in American and British editions...

Also, I looked up in the English Course "New Headway" (Oxford), last edition, they use "to see the film"...
